You prejudicing mess.
I was the only who didnt care about the reviews? G0Dter was the second Mariah album I''ve heard in full and the second I bought.
In love:

Glitter was the first era that I experienced as a fan/stan - can you imagine how that felt? I had just seen the light of how great Mariah is and boom, she is crushed!
I remember I liked the album, I only felt that many of the songs were not really hers, the features were so heavy. But till this day I have come to love most of the songs - had she released them earlier they would have smashed. With Glitter there was just so much wrong apart from the actual music.

I hate that Glitter is my favorite era, it makes me cringe having to constantly be around Mariah at her LOWEST.
What are her album sales in U.S. for each album?
Mariah Carey: 9,000,000
Emotions: 4,000,000
MTV Unplugged: 3,000,000
Music Box: 10,000,000+ (Diamond)
Daydream: 10,000,000+ (Diamond)
Butterfly: 5,000,000
#1's: 5,000,000
Rainbow: 3,000,000
Glitter: 500,000+ (
)
Charmbracelet: 1,000,000
The Emancipations of Mimi: 6,000,000
If you look at Butterfly, #1's, Rainbow, and Glitter tho, I think her career was destined to have a downfall from releasing so much constantly. And you can look at how the singles from 1997-2000 performed. A lot of them had discounts, before the iconic Loverboy discount.
Just a lot of things that happen in the Glitter era itsself that made it flop EVEN MORE. I mean the breakdown, 9/11, movie bombed, and the album itsself being horrible to GP.

Gurl, when you listen to Glitter be sure to give us a full track-by-track review. I hope you don't end up hating it.
Usually when the rest of the stanbase is online they drag me an IAmFree for actually liking that album, and call it gLITTER

Now sis im to fierce to stand such attacks without striking back. No G0Dter = No TEOM = No WBT =No Song of The Decade 2x
Glitter gave birth to her later success.

People do too much on both the movie and the sountrack.
It has some of the best work of her entire career on that sountrack.
